Chen Xiguan's words immediately eased the anxious hearts of Wei Teng and Li Yongfei considerably.
However, Wei Teng quickly added with some concern, "Xiguan, Xiong Zhentian is the underground emperor of Hai City, and who knows how many subordinates he has. We still can't afford to be careless!"
"Heh, underground emperor? In my eyes, he's at most a local thug!"
Chen Xiguan said dismissively, "In any case, with me here, if he dares to cause trouble for you, I'll sort it out for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed over.
"Quick, where are they!"
As they charged forward, they immediately surrounded Wei Teng and Li Yongfei.
Each of them was armed with weapons, like steel pipes and clubs.
It was evident that they were subordinates of Xiong Zhentian, specifically sent to capture Wei Teng and Li Yongfei.
"Run, keep running!"
A thuggish leader, panting, yelled at Wei Teng and Li Yongfei, "Damn it, don't you know where you are? In Hai City, do you think you can escape Master Xiong's grasp?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Take them back!"
With a command, the other thugs behind him prepared to surge forward and seize Wei Teng and Li Yongfei.
"Xiguan, save us..."
Terrified, Wei Teng and Li Yongfei edged closer to Chen Xiguan's car.
"Stop!"
Chen Xiguan yelled at the approaching thugs.
The thugs instinctively halted.
The leader of the thugs walked over, pointed at Chen Xiguan in the car, and asked, "Who are you? I advise you not to meddle. We're Master Xiong's men. Do you know who Master Xiong is..."
"I don't care who you are, get lost immediately. I'm protecting these two!" Chen Xiguan interrupted.
The leader of the thugs became enraged. "Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in Master Xiong's business? Are you tired of living?"
Seeing the thugs' insolence, Chen Xiguan's two bodyguards moved as if to get out of the car and confront them.
Chen Xiguan stopped them.
Then, Chen Xiguan turned to Mr. Dong and said, "Mr. Dong, there are so many of them. Please, would you do us the favor of teaching them a lesson!"
Dong Long, who had been sitting in the car with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, meditating.
Upon hearing Chen Xiguan's words, he finally opened his eyes and glanced at the dozen or so thugs surrounding the car.
A look of profound disdain spread across his face.
"Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? They're just a bunch of trash!"
Despite his words, he stepped out of the car the next moment.
Bang bang bang...
Chen Xiguan, Wei Teng, and Li Yongfei saw a blur. In an instant, all dozen thugs lay on the ground.
Steel pipes, clubs, and other weapons were scattered everywhere.
"!!!"
"???"
Witnessing this scene, Wei Teng and Li Yongfei were stunned, their mouths involuntarily dropping open into "o" shapes.
Chen Xiguan, on the other hand, was overjoyed!
In fact, the reason he had stopped his bodyguards from acting and asked Dong Long to step in, besides the thugs being numerous, was primarily to gauge Dong Long's combat prowess!
In a mere few seconds, he had defeated a dozen armed thugs. This man was indeed worth the hefty sum he had paid to hire him from Uncle Fu!
With such skill, dealing with Qin Yi would be a breeze, wouldn't it?
He was extremely satisfied.
Dong Long clapped his hands and said disdainfully, "A bunch of trash, what a waste of my time!"
He got back into the car and impatiently urged Chen Xiguan, "Where is the person you want to deal with? Hurry up and take me there so we can finish quickly and I can return to Kyoto!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we're going now..."
Chen Xiguan quickly agreed, then had the still-stunned Wei Teng and Li Yongfei get into the car, and they sped away from the scene.
They paid no further attention to Xiong Zhentian's subordinate thugs.
On the way to Qin Yi's house, through Chen Xiguan's explanation, Wei Teng and Li Yongfei finally understood what was going on.
They learned that Chen Xiguan had already gone to see Qin Lei but had been beaten back by Qin Yi.
Now, Chen Xiguan had specifically brought in the expert Dong Long to deal with Qin Yi!
For a moment, Wei Teng and Li Yongfei, sitting in the car, were beside themselves with excitement!
Qin Yi had instigated Xiong Zhentian to deal with them, causing their foot spa business to suffer. Today, he had even come to capture them. They hated Qin Yi to the core!
Li Yongfei exclaimed excitedly, "Xiguan, you're doing the right thing. That brat Qin Yi deserves to be taught a lesson!"
"Xiao Lei is our daughter. We can marry her off to whomever we wish, and he dares to interfere. Who knows what right he has!"
"Master Dong is so powerful, dealing with Qin Yi will surely be a piece of cake!" Wei Teng glanced at Dong Long and said expectantly, "I wonder if Qin Yi will still be so arrogant later!"
Having personally witnessed Dong Long easily subdue more than a dozen of Xiong Zhentian's men, they now regarded Dong Long with near-divine reverence.
"Oh, right Xiguan, if Xiao Lei returns with you later and is still disobedient, you don't need to hold back. Discipline her however you see fit!"
Li Yongfei, in an attempt to curry favor with Chen Xiguan, added, "Once she's scared of you, she'll naturally listen to you!"
"Exactly. No matter how you treat her, we won't blame you. We support you!" Wei Teng chimed in.
Hearing them speak like this, Chen Xiguan's brow furrowed. "Is Qin Lei really your biological daughter? Why does it feel like you don't care about her at all, treating her merely as a tool for making money?"
Wei Teng and Li Yongfei froze simultaneously.
Recovering themselves, Li Yongfei quickly said, "No, no, we just think Xiao Lei is too strong-willed, not like a proper girl at all. If she doesn't change after marrying you, you'll be upset..."
Wei Teng: "Right, right, we're just afraid she'll make you angry. We have no other intentions!"
Chen Xiguan averted his gaze from them and said nothing further, looking out of the car.
Relieved, Li Yongfei and Wei Teng dared not say anything more.
Before long, they arrived at the Fugui Renjia residential complex.
After parking the car, they got out and walked towards Qin Yi's villa.
At this time, Qin Yi had only recently returned home and was chatting with Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei, who had just finished dinner.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Qin Lei got up to open it.
When Qin Lei opened the door and saw Chen Xiguan outside, her face instantly darkened, "Why is it you again!!!"
"Xiao Lei!" Li Yongfei called out.
Qin Lei looked at Li Yongfei and asked, "And who are you?"
"We are your biological parents!" Wei Teng said directly.
Boom.
Qin Lei's mind reeled, and she felt a wave of dizziness. Her body could no longer stand steadily and began to fall.
Fortunately, before she could fall completely, Qin Yi lunged forward and supported her.
